The Software Behind Bollywood Films

The Bollywood film industry has been making films since the 20th century, and Shree Pundalik was the first feature film of Bollywood released in 1912.

Earlier, films were made using old film cameras and various lighting techniques. Filmmakers used the traditional linear editing method to edit and make films. However, due to the digital transformation of the film industry – it has now become possible to make a successful film, with the click of a button. Nowadays, computer software can help filmmakers create films, seamlessly with perfection. Let us look at a few software that is mostly used to make films in the Bollywood film industry.

VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE:

Video editing using computer software is called non-linear video editing and various video footage, taken at different times can be used with this type of video editing because, with the help of video editing software, one can rearrange the shots as required. Most popular video editing software used in Bollywood are Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Avid Media Composer. One can now edit a film anywhere using such video editing software on a laptop or PC. However, most film editing is done at a production studio using dedicated studio software. For using video editing software on a laptop – a high-end CPU and graphics card are required. That’s why laptops like Macbook Pro, are mostly used for seamless video editing purposes. Moreover, these days most of the films are recorded in High Definition (HD) 1080p format, and professional video editing software like Final Cut Pro – supports HD video editing also. 4K video recording is also becoming popular among filmmakers, and most video editing software also supports that. Many people are now using such video editing software to make online movies and Ads for video sharing sites like YouTube also.
